In Loving Memory
Alli Miriam Graham (Luoma)
It breaks our hearts to announce the passing of our beloved mom, Alli Miriam Graham on October 15, 2024 at the age of 100. She was the matriarch of our family that spans many generations. She was born in Chase, BC to Susan and Jacob Luoma.
Alli was predeceased by her husband Floyd, sisters Helen and Lillian, grandchildren Brian and Renee, 3 infant brothers and many loved ones, too numerous to note here. She is survived by her five children, Sheila Pat (Kevin), Herbert (Anjalien), Flora, Howard (Diana) and Susan (JD) and their offspring, eleven grandchildren, eight great grandchildren and five great great grandchildren. Also grieving her loss are her extended families on the Graham and Luoma sides and a vast list of friends she accumulated over her century of life. All who met Alli were charmed by her ever present smile, quick wit, delicious food but most of all her capacity for love. Our hearts are filled with the love she nurtured.
She was a prolific gardener throughout her life and she loved her animals. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice in Alli’s name. Suggestions are the Shuswap SPCA or Shuswap Paws Rescue Society.
Gracious thank yous go out to her neighbours and the care givers mom had these last few years in Home Support, Paramedics, hospital staff and Dr. Skubiak.
There will be a Celebration of Life in the spring which was her favourite season with the promise of new life and beautiful flowers.
